The whole reason people like them is that they take the shape of your foot, and they are normally extremely long lived.
With a foam sole, the shoe will be wearing out just as the cork footbed starts to take your form. You will also have significantly worse traction than rubber soles. There's nothing cheap about these. You'd have to buy 3 or more pairs to try to equal the amount of miles a rubber sole would give. Meanwhile, the rubber sole wearer is enjoying their worn in cork footbed shaped to their foot while the foam soled fools are breaking in a new pair.
I just searched really quickly, but here's a model with a PU, or polyurethane, sole. It's extremely durable, but has a little less traction than rubber. Still a good choice. It comes in other colors if you don't like the look. Basically choose any model. Scroll down to materials, and look for PU outsoles instead of EVA.

Some may also say "rubber EVA" which is an EVA foam midsole with a thin rubber outsole like on this men's model:
